ANIMAL REPUBLIC

Each song contains a new, spontaneous confluence between worldmusic, folk, flamenco, jazz and even rap. The lyrics of the songs and the atmosphere they evoke are based on the collective imagination of the animal kingdom; animals that are bestowed with human traits, as in Aesop’s fables, or animals full of rustic charm.

The swallow that carries a love letter, the snake that joins with the mother goddess and creates all living beings, the elephant that longs to enter an antiques shop to see her soul reflected in a mirror, or the giraffe, a forgotten toy in a garage, that is sure that if it can reach the sea, it will find freedom.

With soundscapes full of melancholy, joy, life and adventure, Animal Republic is a voyage into the interior of each member of Besarabia, setting free their primordial instincts and uncaging their animal within.
